Barefoot, In my trip around TV today looking for homes, there was a house in Mallory, on a corner lot, that obviously had just planted about 6-7 Queen Palms maybe 10-12 feet high.

They were all on the ground. I felt so bad for the people, and this was before the storm, when it was just extremely windy.

I think that Queen Palms have very shallow root balls because in CA we have to secure them more than any other tree until they develop some good roots. In certain parts of L.A. we have very severe Santa Ana winds and know about the necessity for proper staking of trees.

Good luck with them. Hope the landscaper will be professional and fix everything properly.
